Valuable guidance in your daily work

The first version of the Smarter Electronics Handbook was released in 2017 and the response from companies in the Swedish electronics industry was very positive. Since then, four more handbooks have been added. Svensk Elektronik is very proud and grateful that our member companies have been involved in the development of all of these handbooks.

The handbooks are produced by Svensk Elektronik and Smartare Elektroniksystem and aim to facilitate communication between different players in the industry. With the help of the books' common templates, checklists and guidelines, you will receive valuable guidance in your daily work. You will reduce the risk of costly misunderstandings and can save both time and money.

Our manuals consist of:

  • Smarter Electronic Book 2.0 including associated appendices
  • Handbook for developing cyber-secure IoT products (Swedish and English)
  • Handbook for more efficient development of medical devices
  • Smarter Power Electronics Handbook
  • Handbook on reliability in solder joints and printed circuit boards

Smarter Power Electronics Handbook

Power electronics are found in almost all electronic products. It can be anything from internal voltage conversion, battery-related or connected to an external power supply. It is also highly relevant today due to the need for climate change, reduced energy consumption and fossil-free electricity. Both the infrastructure for energy supply and the electrification of, for example, the vehicle fleet require more power electronics and greater knowledge in this area of technology. There are many aspects to keep track of in the area of power electronics and thanks to the book's information, advice and checklists, you will increase your knowledge and minimize the risk of errors.

The handbook offers:

  • Review of important areas in power electronics
  • Tips for designers
  • Checklists
